They have just as much altruism as liberals, just feel it toward mainly their "own" people, rather than the liberals' feeling of owing duty to much larger populations. The plus in conservatives is that they are able to give more to smaller groups than liberals can for very large ones, and they often do just that--give big.
Three of the trees on the road came from our property, but my husband's chain saw was resisting starting, and as a result two were already completely cleared by the time he was able to join in, and they helped make very short work of the third as well even though more trees waited down the road.
As for another comparison, please don't feel bad 
, but in spite of severe damage from Irma in our area (60,000 properties (!) served by our power cooperative lost all power), several major highways and many roads closed from trees and poles down, etc., etc., we now have a very large pile of chips at the bottom of our drive, a gift of the crews who finished grinding all the debris in our neighborhood last week.
Understandably painful, I know, but you need to know.
